This Is Why You Shouldn't Feel Bad For LeBron James

Should we even feel bad for LeBron James at this point in his career? recently LeBron James took a jab at the Los Angeles Lakers front office when he said that we the fans and media already know what should be happening and that he shouldn't even have to be speaking on the state of the Lakers roster. This of course is implying that it should be obvious to Rob Pelinka, Jeanie Buss, and the rest of the Lakers management team, that a trade should be made to improve the Lakers' Roster. Lebron James should be frustrated with the Lakers because currently the Lakers are 19-22 and have not managed to cross the .500 mark in terms of record percentage this season. and just when things started to look good for them, when Anthony Davis was playing really well, he happened to get injured, something that is so recurring with him, the word "injury" has become synonymous with him. But with all of that being said we have to ask, should we even feel sympathy for Lebron James at this point? because though the Lakers are terrible, one could point out that, that predicament is partially Lebron's fault as well. it was Lebron James who lobbied to have the young core of talented players offloaded in order to get Anthony Davis on the team, Now those same young players have blossomed into incredible players who've become assets to their respective teams, LeBron would love to have Julius Randle and Kyle Kuzma back on the lakers for example. Furthermore, it has been proven via the last two seasons that Russell Westbrook is not a good fit with Lebron James and Anthony Davis, whether he is coming off the bench or not. But who is to blame for having Russell Westbrook on the Lakers in the first place? Lebron James, it was his he who pressured the lakers to trade for Russell Westbrook even though he knew the type of player Westbrook is. so Lebron James certainly doesn't have the right to publically throw remarks at the Los Angeles Lakers. but with that being said that certainly doesn't mean that the Lakers Front office is off the hook because they were the ones that acquiesced to Lebron James' demands even though they didn't have to. LeBron James is a great player, but that doesn't mean that he is a great general manager, something he has tried and sometimes succeeded in doing from behind closed doors. Lebron James tried this same tactic one time when he was playing for the Miami Heat. He tried to have Eric Spoelstra fired when things weren't working out in Miami. but luckily for Spoelstra, he had Pat Riley as the GM. a man who is well respected and has seen a lion's share of NBA superstars come and go, so he wasn't intimidated by LeBron's cache. He turned LeBron's request down and told him to make do with the coach he currently had. and luckily it worked out for everyone. The lakers should've taken a page out of Pat Riley's book and should've managed the team by giving into Lebron's demands, so they too have some of the blame for the state they are in right now.
